Husband, Frank Ryan Pizzini, is in federal prison in Beaumont, Texas. When he arrived to Beaumont, August 23 2018, lab work was performed and shown to be abnormal. Husband was followed up with 5 months later, at this time diagnosed with end stage renal disease Jan 2019. Husband has history of high blood pressure and was often neglected and medication was not always given by medical staff. John Cornyn’s office was working with myself on some casework and received response from previous warden, on February 7, 2019. My husband is pending transfer to a FMC location and his condition is worsening during the process.

It has been over a month since they have told us his kidneys were functioning at a 15%. He has been experiencing severe headaches, nausea and vomiting, extremely high blood pressure, fatigue, chronic pain and now becoming very weak to ambulate.

Cornyn’s office has not received any other information from the prison in over a month and now I’m trying to step up the ladder and crying out for help from someone. I fear as his wife I will need to be making funeral arrangements quite soon during this “process” of him being transferred to a FMC to receive his dialysis treatment.

My husband was advised from the medical doctor to apply for compassionate release which was quickly shutdown by the warden. He is in desperate need of dialysis and his kidneys were functioning at 15% over a month ago, I can only imagine what they are at now.

Ryan was given 37 months when sentenced, he has completed almost 21 months and has been in the RDAP program and been on nothing but good behavior ever since. Husband was also enrolled in college courses, but recently had to drop due to his condition worsening. My husband has never been in trouble while incarcerated. I would like my husband to start receiving the proper help he needs and deserves which is requiring dialysis or if he is eligible for compassionate release since he doesn’t have much time left to serve, the better.

Thank you for signing and sharing.
